Never Lie by Freida McFadden is a fast-paced mystery-thriller about a couple stranded in the house of a psychotherapist who famously disappeared three years ago. In Never Lie, a young couple, Trisha and Ethan, go to an open house in a snowstorm and end up stranded in an extravagant house that doesn’t seem to have been occupied for years. They quickly extrapolate that the house once belonged to a Dr. Adrienne Hale, a psychotherapist known for her pop psychology books, who disappeared three years ago, just one week after the release of her last bestseller. Trisha then discovers a room full of cassette tapes from Adrienne’s therapy sessions, and she wonders if she can learn more about her disappearance by listening to the recording.
